If you were conducting an interview with Chlomo (Elie's father) in Auschwitz, what three questions would you like to ask? Craft your questions so Cholomo has the chance to tell the story of his own experiences in the Holocaust from his point of view.
The first question I’d ask Chlomo is when in the camp did he ever lose hope for his son and his survival and if he did why? And if he kept hope, how? The second question I would ask is Chlomo is while at concentration camp did him and others ever have the thought of revolt? And if he didn’t, why? The final question I would ask is what happened on the day of his selection while Elie was working, and what was going through his mind?
ReplyDeleteIf I was going to interview Chlomo and I only had three questions to ask him the first would be, what were you expecting to happen as the Germans were sending you off into camps and forcing you to leave your homes? The second would be, if Elie was not alive during your time at Auschwitz would you have had any motivation for life at all, and if so what was it? The last question would be, after the Germans have done such an evil thing to millions of Jews, will you ever be able to forgive them even after they have taken blame and admitted what they did was awful?
ReplyDeleteIf I had an interview with Chlomo my first question would be if he still had hope. I would wonder if all the torture made him hopeless or make him want out even more. My next question would be what was he expecting when he entered the camp? The last question would be who do you blame? The Germans? Hitler? Maybe even the Jews for not revolting?
ReplyDeleteThe first question I would ask Chlomo if I could ask three questions is, "How did the relationship with your son inspire or help keep you going and not lose faith?" Secondly I would ask, "What were the conditions like every day and how did you keep yourself from breaking apart and giving up?" Lastly I would want to ask, "If you could share one important lesson you learned from the camp, what would it be and how did it help you in your time there?" I believe asking questions helps to get to know people, and that these questions would let others hear his story more in depth.
ReplyDeleteIf i had an interview with Cholmo my first question would be how did he feel about having to have a son in this camp. I aslo would ask him if they told him that the camps were going to be nice and fun. My last question would be how did he feel about how he was treated when he got sick. and what he wished would have happened in the camps. StewardS5
ReplyDeletea.How did the experience affect your thinking after the liberation?
ReplyDeleteb.Did you an Elie become closer because of your experience?
c.Did you ever try to give up and just die during your experience?
What is your opinion on Auschwitz?
ReplyDeleteHow do you feel about what’s happening?
What was going through your head when you were separated from half of you family?
the three questions i would ask
ReplyDelete1. how was your family transported to the camp, did you know that's where you were going?
2. what was the scariest thing that happened to you while you were at the camp?
3. if you had a chance to change the way your selection went what would you do and why?
The three questions i would ask would be:
ReplyDelete1) what did you feel when you got on that train with your family?
2) how did you feel having your son with you?
3) What do you think of the whole place Auschwitz?
How scared were you when your family separated? What were your thoughts when you first arrived at the camp? Did you want to die from the hopelessness you felt and why did you feel hopeless if you did at all?
ReplyDelete85-115 if I had three questions to ask Chlomo, the first question would be how did it feel being separated from your wife and your daughter after living with them for a long time? My second question would be How did you handle doing work while trying to be a good father to Elie? My last question would be how did you keep your faith and not give up on God
ReplyDelete12. The first Question I would ask Elie's father would be; "Why did you choose to never loose faith in your sun, unlike the other people In the camps?" The second question would be; "What do you think for the most part got you through the days in Auschwitz?" And last; "Was there a time while at camp that you thought of giving up on your sun?"
ReplyDeleteMy first question I would ask would be "do you ever forgive your son for betraying in you in the end" I would ask this question because it was very depressing how Elie decided his life was more important them his father. The second question I would ask is "Will you ever forgive Germany for what you had to go through because of them and if you still had anger to them what would you like to do to them" This is a question just for interested because i would like to know what he would do" and finally "what’s your favorite color" you always have to leave at a positive note.
ReplyDeleteThe first is "If give you a chance you can escape, but if you go your son is still in there, you can give this chance to your son, but if he escaped he can't alive by himself, what will you choose?" The second is "why others family give up you didn't?" The third is "have you ever want to kill yourself and your son?"
ReplyDeleteThe first question i would ask Chlomo is "How did you feel being separated from your daughter and wife"? The second question is "What were your thoughts during the public hangings"? And my last question would be "Why did you stay with Ellie as a team instead of living in auschwitz by yourself"?
ReplyDeleteThe first question i would ask is what was said during the meeting he went at the beginning of the story?How was the feeling to be separated from the whole family? Did you ever hated your son or had a negative thought about him.
ReplyDeletei would ask why he was sticking up for his self and why he let elie stick up for him it should have been the other way arround.
ReplyDeleteMy first question for Chlomo would be; "Did you ever think you and Elie would escape? Why or why not?" Second would be "If you could have said one thing to your family before you were separated from them, what would it have been?" The last one would be "Did you ever lose faith? If so, what pushed you to that point?"
ReplyDeleteif i was in an interview with Elies father i would ask him ,if he could turn back one event in his life what would it be?secondly i would ask him how has life at auschwitz impacted his life now and last i would ask him if he could go back and tell his family anything what would it be?
ReplyDelete11. If I were conducting a n interview with Elie’s father, I would probably ask him:
ReplyDelete• During living in the camp did you believe that you can see your daughter and wife again?
• Did you ever lose your hope that God will help and you will escape, and if your answer is no what kept you from not doing that and do not give up?
• What was the scariest thing that happened with you in the concentration camp and what advise can you give us to help us in that situation?
I believe that answers on these questions will help us better understand conditions in the camp and also they could prepare us to problems that we can meet in our lives.
How was your relationship with your son after all that happened?
ReplyDeleteWhat is your story about Auschwitz?
What would you have done to protect elie or get him out of there?
Did you have any family in Auschwitz, if so who? What did you do to survive? What was your worst memory in Auschwitz? What happened to you, when you were getting off the train? Where was your block? When was roll call?Why didn't anyone help you?
ReplyDelete1) To what lengths would you have gone to protect yourself in Auschwitz.
ReplyDelete2)What did you do inside Auschwitz to actually survive.
3)If you stayed in Auschwitz longer do you think would've gone crazy like the others who oly thought of their own survival.
I would ask what the hardest part of it all
ReplyDeleteI would ask him why he thinks Elie cared for him
I would like to know why he gave Elie his spoon and knife even after what they had been through
The first question I would ask is did you ever think that your son would make it out alive? The second question is what did you think was going to happen when you were sent to the concentration camp? And the last question is did you and your son become closer when you were at Auschwitz?
ReplyDeleteIf i had to ask him three questions the first would be "How did it feel to be separated from your wife and daughters when you first came into the camp?" The next question i would ask is "what do you hope the outcome is for you and your son?" after that i would then ask him my final and last question is "how is your relationship now with you and your son since entering the camp?". These questions give you a better perspective of Elie's father and how he thinks.
ReplyDeleteIf I was able to interview Chlomo, Elie’s father, I would ask him what hardships he had to struggle to survive in this camp. Another one would be is why he didn’t plan to overthrow the Nazi’s and the last one would be have you ever thought once that you should cut ties with Elie.
ReplyDeleteIf i were to interview Elie's father, Chlomo, i would ask him what he had to do to survive. I would also ask him why he didnt ovethrow the Nazis if he had the chance to. Another question i would ask him is how did he feel about the relationship between him and Elie.
ReplyDeleteif i had a chance to ask him questions, the first quesion i would ask is what were you expecting to happen when the germans ran everyone out of town. the next question would be did you ever loose faith of being set free? if so why? the last question would be how was your relationship with your son in the camp compared to now?
ReplyDeleteThe 3 questions i would ask are...
ReplyDeleteWhat was the hardest part of being at Aushwitz?
How far would you have gone to protect yourself?
Did you miss your wife and daughter at all or were you to busy trying to stay alive to care?
I would ask: If you had anything you regret doing or saying during your time at Auschwitz, what would it be? What was the final thing that took all hope from you? And what was the importance, in your opinion, of your knife and spoon?
ReplyDelete• The three questions I would have for Elies father would be, as you were getting on the bus for the camp how did you feel? What was crossing your mind? Did you have any idea what was coming? Secondly I would ask, as the old lady kept screaming fire what crossed your mind? Did it make you worried at all or did you just think this lady was crazy? And lastly, did you ever believe that death would be better then life? And did you ever think the elie wouldn’t be able to survive?
ReplyDeleteThree questions i would ask Ellie's father are:
ReplyDelete1. Did you ever think that your Wife and daughter were dead or alive at the concentration camp?
2.What meaning did the spoon and knife have for you as you gave these objects as inheritance to Ellie?
3. Besides your son what other things motivated you to continue living at the concentration camp?
If I had the chance to ask him three questions about his experiences I would ask; 1. On the way to the camp what was going through your head and what were you expecting to happen? 2. Did you ever give up on the idea that you might get out happy and healthy? 3. If you could change anything about your relationship with Elie, what would it be?
ReplyDeleteI would ask; As you ran down the dirt path when they did selection, how did you feel? Did you have any thoughts or ideas of the camps at all before you and your family were sent there? Did you ever want to just give up and give in to death? What were your thoughts of dying, knowing you would be leaving Elie on his own?
ReplyDeleteThree questions i would ask Chlomo is...What were you think on the way to the camp? What did you think your chance of survival for you and your son? What drove you to stay alive?
ReplyDeletei would ask him
ReplyDelete1.) what were you feeling when you knew that you were dying?
2.)what was the importance of the spoon and knife?
3.) how did you feel when you were separated from your wife and daughter?

2.what was going through your mind when Elie got mad at you when you were getting attacked by a crowbar?
3.How do you feel after going through all the torture and pain from the camp and are you glad it is all over?
If I could ask Elie's father three questions, I would probably ask him:
ReplyDeleteWhat was going through your mind when your wife and daughter were separated from you and Elie?
How did you feel while you were trying to give Elie the spoon and knife and what were the importance of them?
What was your main drive to stay alive and how do you plan on staying alive?
the questions i would ask him would be what did it feel like when you were put in that train to the concentration camp, what did it feel like when you knew you might have to put your own life on the line for ellie, and my last question would be what were sleeping in those bunks
ReplyDeleteThe three questions that I would ask Elie's father would be.
ReplyDelete1. What were your experiences with the barracks that you stayed in?
2. How were you still able to work hard for such a long time on the little of food that you were given?
3. Did you ever worry about what happened to your wife and children?
Exactly how bad were the conditions in Auschwitz?
ReplyDeleteWhy did you not give up right from the start?
How did you continue on throughout all the pain and the tears that lie in that camp?
If I were given the chance to ask Chlomo three questions, they would be:
ReplyDelete1. Describe your experience on the train. Did you have any guesses on where you were heading? If so, explain.
2. Explain all the emotions you felt on your first day/night in Auschwitz.
3. Besides you wanted to care for your son, what else kept you going through the torturous so-called life you had here? If there was no other reason, branch out and explain why you felt the need to care for him.
My First question would be what were your feelings loosing your wife and daughter right as you got to the camp? My Second question would be what made you the weakest out of the whole Journey? My Third question would be did you ever think about killing yourself to put yourself out of misery?
ReplyDeleteIf I had an interview with Chlomo, first I will ask how the German soldiers treated them. Second, What was the most difficult living at the Auschwitz?.At last I will ask what made him fear or want to die. These would be my 3 questions and through his answers I would get to understand his experiences.
ReplyDeleteFirst question: What is it like living in the harsh conditions, with how cold and dirty it is?
ReplyDeleteSecond question: How bad is it, living off of watery soup, and bread?
Third question: How is your relationship going with your son right now?
the questions that I would ask would be:
ReplyDelete1.) How did you feel when you got separated by your wife and littlest child?
2.) What where you feeling when you first arrived at Auschwitz?
3.) If you didn't have your son with you at Auschwitz would you still be strong to survive or would you think about killing your so you wouldn't have to deal with the misery that came with staying at Auschwitz?
I would ask Clomo what he first felt when he got off the train and saw the camp in front of him, then I would ask him what was the hardest part of living in the camps, and finally I would ask what he would have done if his son had died before him.
ReplyDelete1) How did you get here from the life you lived in Sighet?
ReplyDelete2) What are the most pivotal points in your experience at this camp? What was their significance?
3) Do you still believe in God?
1. What were you mostly afraid of?
ReplyDelete2. What was going through your mind during this whole time?
3. What would you have done differently if you found about the camp before getting on the train?
If i could ask Chlomo(Elie’s father) three questions of my choice i would ask..
ReplyDeleteIf you had to choose the best moment you experienced at Auschwitz, what would it be?
what was the work like?
Did you really think that your wife and daughter were still alive or did you just say it so that there was hope for Eliezer?
If I were to conduct an interview with Elie’s father three questions I would ask:
ReplyDelete-While at Auschwitz did you ever get a day off of work, if you didn’t how long was the longest time you didn’t have to work?
-What was the easiest job to do while held by the Nazis? How many people do you estimate wanted that job?
-The prisoner who helped you and your son pass the examination line when you first arrived at Auschwitz. Do you know what happened to him, and did you ever see him after that day?
I first question I would ask is did he ever get upset at his son for the way he had been treated his father when they were in the camp. My second question would be about how he got the spoon and knife. Finally, my last question is have he ever think of leaving his son behind and only care for himself because that was a common sense back then.
ReplyDeleteIf I were given the chance to ask Elie's father, Chlomo, three questions they would be:
ReplyDelete1. What were your worries(what was something you kept thinking of) and what questions did you ask yourself while at Auschwitz?
2. How would you describe Auschwitz?
3. What were thinking of while you were on the train on your way to the Auschwitz camp?
If I had the chance to interview Eliezer’s father in Auschwitz I would ask him these three questions. First, how hard was it trying to survive in Auschwitz? What was the toughest part? Secondly, what would you have done if your son, Eliezer, had died before and in front of your eyes? Would you have been able to live on after your son's death? And finally where would you have been in life if Auschwitz had never been created? Would you have been living a happy life or a bad life?
ReplyDeleteThe three questions i would ask would be:
ReplyDelete1)How hard was it to adapt to your surroundings in Auschwitz?
2)If your son died before you did would you have kept going or stop if any of both why?
3)if Auschwitz was never created where do you think you be right now and how would you feel. would you still be the man you were before the camp or the man you are now?

ReplyDeletei agree with kodey about how could you suffer so much to try and keep your son alive and yet still have doubts about things and i like your questions they are really on to what they are asking about what you would say to him if you were interviewing him.
